I have to say, there's a lot of similar ideas, and somehow, they ALL use light element 0.o
This could be an interesting way to lobo enemy creatures.

[Ajit]

Yeah when making the card I was thinking of casting it on your own creatures so that you could use the abilities of creatures in a say a mono- or duo- light deck.  But yeah as of now it works on enemies too.

[AnonymousRevival]

Very useful against a  or deck.

[Ajit]

yeah.

Its weaker than Lobotomize in that when used on an opponent the ability is still there, just requires different quanta

But stronger than Lobotomize in that when used on your own creatures you can focus purely on Light quanta generation on your deck.

[AnonymousRevival]

But what if the opponent's deck was  too?

[Ajit]

Risk you'll have to take?

I don't know, I'm still new to the game, but these cards look useless against certain opponents;


almost useless against rainbow decks


useless against decks with no permanent control


useless against decks with no way to poison you (when considering the shard of gratitude and other healers are much better substitutes)


less useful against darkness and death decks
Anyways, use against the opponent is kind of just an extra, the real use would be using it on your own creatures.

CURATOR COMMENT
-Add a period to the TEXT section of the table to match the card image



This really only benefits Pegasus, which is the only Light card that has an off-element ability (: Dive). Granted, if new creatures are introduced in the Light element with more off-element skills, this would be definitely welcomed.

...also, this would be pretty handy against several of the somewhat tougher False Gods (Hermes, Elidinis, Scorpio, and Graviton) that use several creatures with off-element abilities (mostly involving Growth or Ablaze).

[Ajit]

Well you could construct a deck that incorporates another element aside from light, like imagine a life/light deck (I'm terrible at the game and making decks so bear with me);

Mark of Life
Light Tower X12
Forest Spirit X6
Divine Saint X6
Improved Blessing X6

Thoughts?

This card + Rustler = infinite quanta generator o:

Provided that you have at least 1 to activate the Touched Rustler's ability, you can Photosynthesize forever. Maybe change the mechanics so that Rustler can only activate its ability x times per turn when affected by Light Touch (in the same fashion that a Rustler affected by Shard of Readiness can only activate Photosynthesis once per turn)?
Delusional post is delusional.

[Ajit]

I think you misunderstand the function of this card.  The target's ability will cost quanta, not whatever quanta it used to cost.  A Rustler's ability (photosynthesis) already costs quanta.  So using Saint's ability would be pointless when used on a Rustler.

[pikachufan2164]

Oh right, fail on my part. I thought the ability went -> .
